September 30, 2022 Bonus: Kanye West's Donda Academy, Le Trump, Maple Leaf Crypto, and Market Capicuolo
Rounding into October with another Fraudwire and this time we've got the great Ed Larson from The Bright Side joining us. This week we cover Kanye West's new Donda Academy - have you read their Non-Discrimination Policy? It's very robust! And who woulda thought that the NY Attorney General is serving up not only Trump but the entire family with a fraud investigation (of course everyone but Tiffany). As always we rock a crypto story and finish up with a delicious story about the deli in New Jersey that a $100 million market capitalization.

September 23, 2022 Fraudwire: Fundamentalist Mormons, COVID Scammers, and Ron DeSantis are awful to children
This week on Fraudwire we cover the subject of the Netflix doc "Be Sweet" about the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints and how they scammed their own followers into free labor and marrying their cousins (oof). Then we just got breaking news about the largest COVID scam to date out of Minnesota where a group was defrauding a program that was supposed to help feed needy children. And finally how can we miss talking about Ron DeSantis, and how he scammed migrants into getting on a plane with the promise of good jobs, and then dropped them off in Martha's Vineyard.
Comedian Luke Thayer and attorney Mackenzie Brennan join Seena Ghaznavi and Justin Williams!

September 17, 2022 Bonus: Farvrerer, Mother Theresa, Ernst Breaks Up and Steve Harvey is Publishers Clearing House

This week we cover Brett Farvre and the biggest welfare scam in Mississippi history, a woman in Florida who was deemed the Mother Theresa of her community when in reality she was running a nearly $200m ponzi scheme, EY is finally breaking up their auditing and consulting business, and we learned that if Steve Harvey isn't showing up at your door then it's NOT Publishers Clearing House!

August 19, 2022 Bonus: E-Growers Carried Interest for Your Fake Book Deal and Nick is an Uncle
Our latest Fraudwire before the end of summer break at LPN. This week we cover Juicyfields.io - a hybrid cannabis and crypto scam where people could "invest" in different grows of their favorite weed strains. There is a special place in hell for those that defraud around the sweet sinsemilla.

And have you ever heard of the Carried Interest loophole? It's one of those things you hear in the news, but wtf is it all about? We do a quick dive into that and who is holding up congress for it.

In phishing news, we found out that scammers have been impersonating HarperCollins editors and offering people book deals? WHY? WHY? So boring - but we'll tell you all about it on the show.

August 12, 2022 Bonus: Seagal Reps Russia in Ukraine and Lions, Tornados, and Pink Sauce OH MY!
Breaking news from the #fraudwire discord - Steven Seagal is in east Ukraine repping the Russians and throwing shade on everyone but the fascists. We also cover a Trump-supporting clothing brand that was ripping tags off their clothing to restamp them as Made in America, and as always a bit from cryptoland - Tornado Cash is a mixer that was laundering money for North Korean hackers... WE ARE SHOCKED. And finally - we are ashamed we missed this story earlier, but we have a full update on PINK SAUCE... how it started as a meme, how it became a gross FDA violating side hustle, and how it's now gone.... legit.

August 05, 2022 Bonus: Shady Boxes, Alzheimer's Big Scam, and Shaun King's Prize Dog That Wasn't

Who would've thought those loot boxes in video games that make kids (and many adults) dump millions to get the latest 'skin' - well the EU is looking at their exploitative practices.

The big news though is from the scientific community where a foundational research paper for Alzheimer's turned out to be deliberately fraudulent.

Shaun King is at it again, getting his progressive PAC to buy a $40,000 dog - too bad he returned it bc it had 'too much energy.' OR maybe the dog was asking for RECEIPTS

July 29, 2022 Bonus: To Catch a Fraudster, PharmaBro goes Web3, and Miracle Cure Murder for Hire
We're back with another installment of our livestream. This week we are joined by our guests, Amber Nelson, co-host of The Brighter Side and Someplace Underneath podcasts, as well as Ariel Leaty comedian and fraud enthusiast!
In this episode, we cover Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman's latest scam... a To Catch a Predator show based in DC where they convinced an OnlyFans model to pose as underage girl in the hopes of catching one DC's elite - instead the production crew got marooned in an Airbnb and stiffed on payment.
Martin Shkreli is back fresh off breaking his jailhouse girlfriend's heart with a totally legit Web3 platform that is trying to use the computing power of the blockchain to research cures for underserved communities. He's definitely a changed man... or not.
And finally, Enochian BioSciences is the poor man's Theranos with a side of murder-for-hire. Probably the craziest fraud story coming out of the public markets this year.
Be sure to find us on social @fraudsterslpn - we stream #Fraudwire live every Wednesday!

July 22, 2022 Fraudwire: Snyder Bots, Fake Cricket, and Vicious Vapes
Welcome to the off-season! Fraudwire is our way of giving you a little bit of Seena and Justin while we prepare for another season of deep-dives. These episodes are livestreamed weekly on Wednesdays with special guests. This week we had the father of Last Podcast Network - Henry Zebrowski on as well as stand-up comedian Gordon Baker-Bone. HERE’S the thing, if you were on the livestream you saw that Gordon’s audio was rough. We unfortunately had to edit him out of this episode because we were worried that your ears would bleed if you heard his distorted stream. We love Gordon and will definitely have him back. So please pardon us as we work out the kinks for this new live experience!
Every week in the off-season we’ll talk about the top fraud stories on our mind right now. Enjoy!

July 05, 2022 Wayne LaPierre Season Finale Part IV - Interview with The Good Liars and the message they sent
Jason Selvig (@JasonSelvig) and Davram Stiefler (@davramdavram) join Seena and Justin to talk about their time at the NRA convention where Wayne LaPierre was reelected this year despite all...that...fraud. The series wraps without anything close to a happy ending because this episode is coming out the day after July 4th where there were multiple shootings around the country. And every time it happens, people like Wayne LaPierre and the NRA get stronger. Doing comedy around the Second Amendment and the NRA may feel tone-deafwhen, but it's how we deal with the grotesque violence of our country, and learning about the details gives us strength in the inevitable fight ahead.

This week Seena and Justin continue exploring the inner-workings of the NRA and Wayne LaPierre was able to consolidate power while getting private planes, trips to the Bahamas, and safaris around the world all paid by the NRA or gifted by NRA vendors... who were also paid by the NRA.
